Togus Pond was formed through both natural and human influenced events
	*About 25 to 20 thousand years ago, Maine was covered completely by the Laurentide ice sheet which  moved in a south-southeastern direction.
	The motion of the ice shaped the landscape of Maine, carving out hundreds of new lakes and ponds.
	*The formation of Togus Pond was enhanced by a series of damming and clear cutting procedures during the 1800Ős
	*This is a hypothetical map showing the Togus Pond water level 4 feet lower than its current height which is what it was likely to be at before any damming took place.  The area in white was most likely forested area.  The first dam was placed along Rt 3 where a brook feeds in.  This was followed by subsequent dammings and clear cuttings along the northwest cove which increased the size of the lake.  A dam was also placed at route 105 where the culvet exists today and most recently, a  dam was built down at Rt 17 that formed lower Togus.
	*Evidence of this logging and damming cycle still exists, as stump fields are visible well below the water surface.
